Reproduction: Females lay 2 or more clutches of 4-22 eggs in nests dug in the soil. Incubation is 80-150 days.

Facts: A turtle’s shell contains the backbone in the top part
of the shell (the carapace). Turtles are often found basking in the sun, a necessary activity for all cold-blooded (exothermic) animals. Stretching out their legs in the sunshine helps to warm their body temperature, enabling movement and food digestion.

The rounded dome-like shells of the box turtles indicate they are land dwellers. The flatter shells of the water turtles facilitate swimming in a watery environment.
